Systems and methods involving implants positioned within implant pockets through minimally invasive entrance incisions, along with related implants. In some implementations, implants may be folded, rolled, or otherwise compressed to fit within subcutaneous implant pockets, after which they may be decompressed to fit within an implant pocket having one or more dimensions substantially larger than the entrance incision. Such implants may be used for a variety of purposes, including generating electrical energy for various other implants located throughout the body.

A computer system provides patient monitoring and treatment using implanted biosensors. Data associated with a target joint of a patient is collected via one or more implanted biosensors. A plurality of feature values are extracted from the data. The plurality of feature values are processed using a trained classification model to select a recommendation. The recommendation is provided to mitigate hemophilia-related injury to the target joint. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for providing patient monitoring and treatment using implanted biosensors in substantially the same manner described above.
